]]>Comment on Were the Wright Brothers the first? Probably not. by deceneu28https://mac1949.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/were-the-wright-brothers-the-first-probably-not/#comment-632
Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:25:07 +0000http://mac1949.wordpress.com/?p=379#comment-632There are many technical problems with Flyer I 1903. The plane was unstable, underpowered and had propellers that appeared only in 1908, exactly in the same year when the Wright brothers flew for the first time in front of credible witnesses. The brothers simply lied about their flights from 1903-1905. They built their planes in France in 1908 with French engines (Bariquand et Marre), efficient french propellers and using the entire French flight experience of 1908.

The Wright brothers established flight duration records in the autumn of 1908 but they appeared in the history of aviation on August 8, 1908, in a moment when other inventors had already flown more than 15 minutes.

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 10:06:21 +0000http://mac1949.wordpress.com/?p=286#comment-406It seems to be that way with all sorts of creative people (writers, actors, etc.) as well as artists. I’ve always been fascinated by what I perceive as the connection between bipolar disorder and creativity.

I’ve visited your website and blog. You’re a very talented individual. I hope you don’t mind if I post links. Cheers.

Tue, 20 Aug 2013 20:11:51 +0000http://mac1949.wordpress.com/?p=286#comment-405I’ve thought for a long time that Caravaggio was bipolar. Alot seems to fit and I know what you mean in terms of ‘who cares if he was bipolar’ but it’s interesting in terms of his images. I find my ability to create changes with different points in my bipolar cycles, the type and quality of images I create also changes, as does what I destroy or save.

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:56:52 +0000http://mac1949.wordpress.com/?p=286#comment-402You’re right, it doesn’t make much difference in the overall scheme of things. I was simply struck by the way the symptoms seem to fit. That, and I can’t help but wonder if it may provide some insight to his creativity, since I have known two bipolar people (one my roommate) and both were brilliantly creative.

]]>Comment on The Restless Dead by Bailey K. M.https://mac1949.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/the-restless-dead/#comment-135
Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:26:08 +0000http://mac1949.wordpress.com/?p=581#comment-135My class is studying this. We are writing fictional narratives on how the happenings of the Chase Vault occured in our minds. My version is that Sarapphina Golding (Thomisina Goddard in the real life version) moved the coffins. Of course she was dead, but maybe there is such things as zombies or ghosts. But, she may have wanted to move the coffins in an escape attempt. So she moved the coffins to get out of the Chase Vault, along with the others. If you think about it, it all makes sense. Her coffin was the only one not moved, and it said a lot of people hated Thomas Chase, the Patriarch of the Chase family at that time. Also, family bonds can run very deeply. Maybe she wanted to be buried in the graveyard with her family. This all may relate to the Buxhoeveden family mystery. In the end it could all come down to supernatural happenings we never knew existed. If you would like, email me at 18495@garfieldre2.net for more of my POV on this subject.

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:38:23 +0000http://mac1949.wordpress.com/?p=268#comment-110Wow! Outstanding! I had no idea when I asked where the anti-war songs of today were, that I’d get replies from so many talented people. I’m sorry I couldn’t get to this earlier, but life intervened. Keep up the great work.
